I am on a windows 7 box that has msysgit installed. I also have a ruby script where I am trying to invoke git using a system() call.

system("C:/Programs/msysgit/bin/git.exe") 

This does not work. Does anyone know how to get this running? I’ve done it on Win XP before, but cannot seem to get it working. Any example with ruby/perl/python or similar on windows will help.
